Dunno if this has been answered yet, but M$ has some freeBSD servers running behind hotmail.
apparently they tried exchange, but it couldn't handle the load... freeBSD doesn't use the gpl code, so Microsoft can filtch code from it whenever they like.. which makes them happy and I believe that they have filtched code for it in nearly all versions of windows to date.. freeBSD is a cousin to linux, fairly similiar,, and it has far far more in comon with linux then it does with NT/2000/XP What sort of facts about linux do you want?? I have some books here that have sections on its development and history here.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Winegarden Sent: Monday, 19 November 2001 1:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] linux facts for presentation Hi, I have the opportunity to deliver a presentation (probably StarOffice presentation method) on the linux operating system. What I would like from the list is some information on linux facts .......more to point, some instances of successful implementation in industry and institutions such as small to medium community colleges. Cost benefits, installation and training issues shouldn't be missed. Now that I have my laptop fully functional I will be using Mandrake to showcase Mandrake. If anyone has done a similar presentation and has some tips, I'm all ears. Please note, I'll be delivering to a group that is referred to as a Technology Advisory Committee that has been thoroughly indoctrinated in MS. Presentation length is approximately 20 minutes. I have no problem putting together the presentation, I just need the backup facts. Thanks for this and all previous that got me this far, Bill W. ps...is it true that MS uses linux to run its msn mail server?
